so even if parliament. means in august it is unlikely that his administration will allow such a motions but let's say during this period even. members of parliament from his ruling coalition who were like the fleet i did to the other side or become independent would they be allowed to do so for example by popolo his government is so no really good to get your thoughts thank you very much indeed for talking to al-jazeera thank you. now the final days of donald trump's presidency are setting the stage for a tense transition to the incoming administration of president elect joe biden the u.s. house of representatives has introduced an article of impeachment against trump for his role in citing a mob storm the capitol building last week al-jazeera was hijacked castro has more on the growing coals trumps removal. this is the insurrection that president trump is accused of fueling as alleged in the single article of impeachment introduced to congress on monday incited by president trump the article reads members
